    A lot of people owned their own personal guns.

    And you keep saying farmers as if it was a specific group of the population. Like 90% of the population was farmers then.

    At this point I would venture to say your argument is just wrong.

      I don’t keep saying “Farmers”. The person I replied to said Farmers were given guns to defend the Republic in the event of defending it. Which is what the second amendment is based on.

      Once again, a dumbass American further proves they don’t even understand their own constitution.

        Wait wait wait… You aren’t American and you are trying to argue our own political system to us?

        This is amazing - probably the best bot/NPC I’ve ever come across.

        I did.not say they were given guns. I said they were given the right to bear arms in case they were called up to join a militia.

        You said they were given guns, and I said that doesn’t count as a right to bear arms.
